     But today...ooh, today...no more procrastination for me!  Today I achieved.  I was productive.  I stayed the course.  I kept my head down and focused.  I got stuff done!  And...GASP!  I had fun doing it!  Today I accomplished!  In no particular order, today I...

    Wow! You had a very busy day, but it still sounds like you enjoyed each part. I love productivity as well, but I must say that I've been making an effort to have some 'do-nothing' days this year. I need time set aside with no plans, just to move in my own rhythm and to see where the day takes me. I suppose each of us seeks a balance between the two: productivity and time to just be.
